UV-visible electronic absorption spectra measurements were carried out using an Agilent Cary 100-UV-visible Spectrophotometer. The fluorescence emission spectra of the samples were measured using a Horiba Fluoromax 4C spectrofluorometer (HORIBA, Edison, NJ, USA). Fluorescence lifetime experiments were performed using a Horiba Jobin Yvon instrument (HORIBA, Edison, NJ, USA) in a Time-Correlated Single Photon Counting (TCSPC). A nano-LED of 390 nm was used as a source of excitation for CQDs. LUDOX AM30 (Sigma-Aldrich/ St. Louis, MO, USA) colloidal silica scattering medium was used for the instrument response function. The pulse repetition rate of TCSPC was fixed at 1 MHz. The average size of CQDs was carried out by using an FEI Titan G2 (Hillsboro, OR, USA) 300 kV high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM). Surface functionality characterization was carried out by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) using PHI 5000 Versaprobe II (ULVAC-PHI, Enzo Chigasaki, Japan), FEI.

pH-Titration of DNA Switch Fluorescence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pH-titration curves of the pH-sensitive DNA switch (100 nM; STAR Methods) were conducted in a universal citrate/phosphate/borate buffer whose pH was adjusted to the desired value. The solutions of the universal buffer at different pH were prepared according to a previously reported method.70 (link) Equilibrium fluorescence measurements were obtained using a Fluoromax-4C spectrofluorometer (Horiba) with excitation at 488 nm and acquisition between 540 and 650 nm at 25°C. The normalized fluorescence data F (at 572 nm) was fitted with the following equation: F= F0+ (Fm-F0) × 10k/(10k+10x).48 (link) In this equation, F0 is the minimum fluorescence signal (triplex state); Fm is the maximum fluorescence signal (duplex state); k is the pH of the inflection point, and x is the pH of the solution.

The absorption spectra
were taken using
a Varian model Cary wins Bio 100 spectrometer in the range of 200–800
nm. The fluorescence emission spectra were recorded using the Fluoro
Max-4C spectrofluorometer (Horiba Instruments, USA). The slits for
excitation and emission were set at 5 nm. Lifetime analysis was measured
using time-correlated single photon counting with a pulse width of
1.3 ns. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) images
were recorded on a JEOL JEM 2100 instrument with an acceleration voltage
of 200 kV. An Omicron ESCA Probe spectrometer with unmonochromatized
Mg Kα X-rays was used for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
analysis. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were recorded
using a PerkinElmer FTIR spectrometer. Thermal transition measurements
were done using a TA Q100-DSC thermal analyzer (TA Instruments, New
Castle, Delaware 19720 USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
